‘55 T-Bird For Sale My 1955 Ford Thunderbird Convertible is in excellent shape! It has no rust anywhere on the body or under the frame. It has the original 292 engine and transmission, (three speed manual with overdrive). There are approximately 78,000 actual miles on the car. I am the third owner and the car has been garaged the whole time I have owned it. I purchased the car in March 1970, the car had approximately 50,000 miles when I bought it. It is a California car, sold originally by a dealer in Los Angeles and the car has never been any farther from L.A. than San Diego, CA. The engine is in excellent running condition, the transmission shifts perfectly and all the rubber bushings in the front suspension were replaced approximately four years ago, there are four new tires on the car purchased approximately three years ago and has not been driven more than 150 miles since. I recently had the radiator checked by a local radiator shop and it is in excellent condition. The paint is in very good condition as well as the interior. This is not a museum show car but is a very clean car in exceedingly good condition both mechanical and in appearance. The car has a new aftermarket convertible top, and I do not have the hard top. All the chrome parts on the outside are new or have been re-chromed. It has an after market radio in place of the original which I never had. The wheels have the original small hub caps which include the imitation spoke wheel covers. The fender skirts are in good condition and they will come with the car. All gauges are in good working condition. There is no Power Steering, Power Brakes or Power Windows on this car. There is only power seat. The switch under the dash is the power antenna for the radio. The car is raised high in the rear as a matter of my preference. I flipped the shackles over and they can easily be flipped back to the normal height. This car is an original not a replica. The color is not the original color and I had the interior done in the brown and tan colors. The brown is a heavy duty vinyl and the inserts are fabric. The yellow exterior is not the correct color, the original color was red. I am selling this car because I do not drive the car as often as I like to. I would like to see this car go to a new owner that will give this car tender loving care as I have done over the past 31 years.
